THE MANNI Entered at the Postofilce at M Appelt & Sho Published Eve Subscription Rates $2, MANNING, S. C., WED FIGHT TH[ BOLL WE[VIL Some of the more weak kneed of our farmers seem to be about ready to give up the fight against the boll weevil already. That is, they are talking about quitting before the fight is really begun. But I find that the quitters are very much in the minor ity, and that the most of our real far mers are already fighting the gentle men and are preparing themselves for a real battle during the next 60 days. It is true that we have a heavy in festation of weevils here, but I wish to ask what we expected when we planted the cotton. Is there a man but that expected a heavy emergence this spring? I see nothing as yet to be unduly alarmed about. The bulk of the cotton crop has always been made during the months of June and July, and it is altogether possible for us to make it during those months in 1922. That is if we stay by the ship, but not if we give up now. Many of our thinking men are ex pressing the idea that the law of averages favors a dry period in the near future. I therefore say fight the weevil with whatever means at hand, so that if favorable seasons strike us we may get the full benefit of them. Cultivate your cot' 'apidly as possible--both side . cry week and oftener if possible. Pick up squares as long as it can be done without too great expense or at the sacrifice of cultivation. Let nothing keep your plows from going except wet soils. That is above all things important. Let's keep in mind that the Lord helps those who help themselves and that this is no time nor place for a quitter. W. R. Gray, County Agent.
